Welcome to the first podcast of the 2008-2009 school year! Most Americans know that the Fourth of July is our nation's birthday, but do you know that September 17, 1787, is the birth of the United States government? It is the day on which delegates to the Philadelphia Convention completed and signed the U.S. Constitution. Constitution Day is intended to celebrate not only the birthday of our government, but the ideas that make us Americans. The Coulee Kids created this podcast as a way to honor our constitution. Happy Constitution Day!
